Objective The proposed conference is the last of a series of two with the overall objective to inventory, summarise and generalise the scientific knowledge on the structure and function of marine biodiversity in coastal marine areas of Europe. Now that the Rio Convention has been ratified by nearly all European countries, and by the European Union, it becomes clear that the knowledge required to cover the obligations of the convention is simply not available, even in Europe where the seas have been explored for hundreds of years and taxonomic and general ecological knowledge is well advanced when compared to other areas of the world.
